You’re face doesn’t blow up but it does stop working after a while. It’s not fun how dry you’re might get after using it for a while too. It happened to me. Just try not a touch you’re face too much. Also, get a good cleanser like Neutrogena or Clearasil.

    queen helen’s mint julep masque, available at walmart for about $3. use no more than once or twice a week tho.

    oxy lotion at walmart- for spot treatment about $5

    TEA TREE OIL! it also evens out skin tone and is known to get rid of acne scars. its cheap [about $10 a bottle] and is sold at trader joe’s.

    jason vitamin k cream. cheapest site- http://www.bizrate.com/skincareproducts/...

    clean & clear cooling daily pore toner [it contains glycolic acid, which means it erases acne scars]

    try getting a moisturizer with spf 15 or higher when you go out. when your skin is exposed to the sun, hyperpigmentation may occur, and this causes ur acne scars to become darker.

    if you have anymore questions, email me at secretivemistake

    The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.
    Personally, Proactive didn’t work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC diffrence in my blackeads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!
